Thanks, Jerry. I wasn’t referring to the fingering itself but rather how the fingering in notated.

Classical guitarists (like myself) use the left hand numbering 1 (index) 2 (middle) 3 (Ring) 4 (little finger). Tight hand is P (thumb) I (index) M (middle) little finger in not typically used or notated.

I am curious if anyone plays both accordina and classical guitar and if they notate their fingering in a way as to avoid the confusion of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 meaning different fingers on each instrument.

Since I learned classical guitar first, I have a 50 year habit of thinking 1 means index finger (etc.), and P means thumb.
